.. _git_support:

===========
Git support
===========


Kallithea Git support is enabled by default. You just need a Git
command line client installed on the server to make Git work fully.

Web server with chunked encoding
--------------------------------

Large Git pushes requires a http server with support for
chunked encoding for POST. The Python web servers waitress_ and
gunicorn_ (linux only) can be used. By default, Kallithea uses
waitress_ for `paster serve` instead of the built-in `paste` WSGI
server.

The default paste server is controlled in the .ini file::

    use = egg:waitress#main

or::

    use = egg:gunicorn#main


Also make sure to comment out the following options::

    threadpool_workers =
    threadpool_max_requests =
    use_threadpool =


Disabling Git
-------------

You can always disable Git or Mercurial support by editing the
file ``kallithea/__init__.py`` and commenting out the backend.
